A Sampling of Cyber Security Solutions Designed for the Small Business Community NOTE: This is not an exhaustive survey of all available offerings. It is meant to provide readers with an idea of the solutions that are available. Solutions listed in Alphabetical Order In this companion report to the Solutions for Small Business White Paper on Cyber Security, the editors of BizTechReports.Com have compiled a sampling of technology solutions that have been specifically designed to fit the needs of the small business community. While it is not an exhaustive report, this summary does provide small-business owners and operators with a representation of the types of offerings and feature sets that are available within this important market. It s no secret that cyber-intrusions and attacks whether by viruses, malware, spyware, or other IT security breaches are on the rise in corporate America. High-profile hacks on military computers and corporate domains like Google have illustrated that new cyber security challenges are emerging as fast as experts can combat them. It s tempting to see cyber security as a problem unique to government agencies, large enterprises, or e- commerce players. While such sites are highly visible, cybercriminals are also paying closer attention than ever to so-called soft targets such as small businesses. Why? Because bad guys have learned they have more luck attacking unguarded small businesses than enterprise fortresses. In this comparison report produced by BizTechReports.Com and commissioned by Solutions For Small Business, our aim is to provide small businesses with a jump start on the research necessary to evaluate, acquire and implement important elements of an effective cyber security strategy. See how small businesses are approaching cyber security in our broader report on the subject, which is available at: www.solutionsforsmallbusiness.com.
